White folks = cows isn't a fair comparison, there is a strong racist history of comparing black people to monkeys/gorillas that increases the social harm.

Intent WAS a factor here. There was no intent to consider anyone other than white people when the model was trained.

The racism comes from the fact non-white people were not properly considered when the model was developed and trained. This comes up time and time again in AI, ranging from face ID that only works on white people, to porn classifiers that a

Phoenix/LiveView must be really good if people are learning not one but two niche languages (Elixir and Erlang) just to use it. I wonder if the framework is particularly tied to Elixir or if it could be done in a more popular languag

If you like that you should check out a Showa Museum (Showa-kan) as the whole place will have that aesthetic. Or a real dagashiya if you can find one!

Yeah Japan is so terrible giving children sugar and additives. ( slurps Coca-Cola while munching on a Snickers bar )

The joy of dagashi is its playfulness, whether that be the toys or prizes they come with, the chance to win a second free snack, the colourful designs, their interactiveness and the imitation of other foods. Commenting on the taste is kind

I am inclined to agree with you, e.g. the number of very long-running family businesses in Japan, traditional arts being kept alive, etc. otoh unless you've lived in Japan for a very long time it's pretty hard to tell what is sinc

Get a train pass and try to move efficiently but staying in places for 2-5 days. Use these 'home base' opportunities as a chance to talk to locals or check sites like Atlas Obscura or WikiVoyage and make day trips or plan your nex

Is it annoying that issues open in a modal by default, I then need to click the issue name again to make it open in its own window.

Yeah. I get the same with Chrome. It's like, can you just slow down a little?

Wow, thanks for that. So much to unpack here! 1) 200 people with diarrhea and vomiting. Can't imagine how the plane smelled. 2) JAL's catering manager committed suicide after hearing about this. 3) If the pilots had eaten the food

The Asian airlines I've used (JAL, ANA, Singapore, AirAsia) have been pretty damn good. It's hard to mess up curry and rice; you get salad, side dishes, bread, ice cream and alcohol. Many of the dishes are designed by famous chefs

I'm just happy we have an alternative to Samsung in the folding space, because I cannot stand Samsung's OS or software.

For me it's a better product than carrying two different items. If I have to take a tablet I have to bring a bag/case to carry it, and then unzip all that to pull out the tablet every time I want to use it (e.g. video, comics, lar

Comics are actually changing to suit phones rather than the opposite! Newer web comics show one panel at a time in a long vertical strip. And tablets are still a thing, you can just use them for comics instead of spending $1800 on a phone.

I'm not from the US, but they could give priority to app users by making a collection only lane? Which would move faster than the voice ordering lane.

In our code at work we have constants like HOUR=3600 and RESTART_TIME_SECS = 6 * HOUR. It makes sense to me. If it doesn't for you, feel free to use something else I guess.

Sec is a standard suffix for time values, anything ending with Sec accepts a value in seconds. 12h is shorthand for 'the number of seconds in 12 hours'

There's a complete lack of slang, the sentences are verbose, generally use more difficult and formal words (ChatGPT would say 'vocabulary' here), and the final "Overall," reads like a student essay rather than a com

This is the same for Huawei and their phones aren't even that cheap!

imo interpretation of actually as "I can't believe someone did this (that someone could be so stupid)" rather than actually as "this is an event that definitely occured". Didn't seem too bad to me.

I've also had situations where _only_ neverssl.com wouldn't load but other http sites would switch to https with an invalid cert error. It's really weird.

I apologised in another comment and admit it is not universally true, as many people have pointed out. However I have repeatedly tried to get hotels to price match; they don't, and they never mentioned a loyalty scheme. That is my pers

I love the word nerd-sniped and indeed it applies to HN comments very often. We just want to bicker.

by rjh29 4y ago
It seems to make sense if you're going to use the same brand for a long time, yeah. I tend to stay wherever is cheapest so I haven't exploited loyalty schemes yet, but reading the comments I might be missing out.

by rjh29 4y ago
Thanks for your response. I apologise, the term "idiots" was definitely over-the-top - while there are people who are paying more than they should, I didn't know about the loyalty programs (which makes me the idiot). Maybe it

Or maybe booking.com is actually a better experience for most people than the legacy hotel sites. It's more streamlined, it's cheaper, you don't have to sign up etc. If you think I'm an astroturfer look at my comment his
